Okay, to begin, how does it feel when you are informed that you are monotonous every time when you speak or even do something? Let us remind ourselves of that fucking dull person we know and/or used to know when they were around our presence.

Perhaps you are one of those fucking boring people or you were. But it’s okay reader, shit will be sorted rapidly, and don’t be a sucker trying to convince yourself that you are always interesting and that not even a single individual finds you boring.

Perhaps you are simply more of a crappy dude or chick but this incredible guide isn’t necessarily about that. Okay, let me share some of my views and experiences of the type of person that I find boring.

Initially, my own fucking experience has found itself dragged quite a lot into these boring individuals, peculiarly to dudes. Mostly, smart dudes bore the shit out of me because essentially the subjects that they often discuss and think about the entire day are dull and I tend to find it very, very strenuous to distinguish them from perfectionists.

Ergo, what I generally perceive and still find myself encountering about their dullness is that they typically lack a sense of humor. In fact, they lack some form of madness and silliness that I frequently find super-enthralling from an outspoken human being on earth.

I have no fucking clue about whether these types of dudes are fucking serious and highly determined about so-called Life. Ah, my dazzling day simply goes wasted in the abyss. Thusly requiring and tyrannically demanding me to put so much effort that I, too, am bewildered about how can I bring it back precisely.

Let me share a brief story with you because you all know that I love stories, and that is why I constantly generate them too often. And I also know as well that human beings love being told stories to construct some sense and meaning in life.

Alright reader, stick with me and ensure that you hold that device firmly because I am about to blow the shit out of your mind right away. Even if you thought you knew it, it won’t make that much of a difference from what I am about to fucking divulge here.

I feel like I’m vacillating too much instead of cutting to the chase and stopping fucking around.

The story goes this way. I used to have a friend who was so smart, quiet, shy, got potbelly, fat, and too introverted in such a way that when you salute him he’ll simply ignore you as if you don’t even exist at all when he doesn’t know who the fuck you are.

His name was Samuel Lewis. He was kind of a geek, too materialistic, and a science nerd. Lewis was extremely smart and yet foolish. Although you wouldn’t straightforwardly detect his own foolishness. But you would spot it when you get to know him a little bit more. This dude doesn’t laugh for more than four seconds and has no sense of humor at all. He was too serious about life and every shit he does.

I arduously tried and succeeded (but after a very long time) to get to know him and befriend him. One thing I actually liked about him is that he was so focused and quiet. I still don’t know what type of an introvert was that because even if you luxuriate with him you would barely hear him uttering a word. But still, those infrequently spoken words were empty and bullshit.

Lewis was a milquetoast but still deemed himself a strong person only because he never asked for help and/or never ask anything from anyone, especially from his peers. He thought to himself that he knows every fucking thing and that no one could ever tell him what to do. He actually thought knows what he was doing. In fact, he was the “know-all” type of dude.

After I got to know Lewis a little bit more and more (just in case you didn’t know: my intention was to befriend him, not to study his fucking mind or behavior), I encountered what I didn’t even expect or wasn’t au courant of. The dude was too partial, apathetic, pessimistic judgmental, and derogating.

I realized that his ingenuity is moderately a disadvantage to his behavior and thought processes. This isn’t about blaming his background, parents, hurt, or any fucking sort of pain he felt. Nope, this is simply about him being reluctant to learn and understand the world differently and better at large. But I’m not really there at correcting his foolishness whatsoever.

That is what I’ve learned and discerned from dull, extremely smart, and foolish individuals. Perhaps you might want to pick some tips on becoming a boring person. But I know you don’t want to be that kind of a fucking tedious human to other human beings you run into.

So, what I’ve noticed and experienced is that these kinds of individuals are samey and sometimes irksome to me. I actually found almost bupkis captivating about them (sorry if I’m being mean or offending you. But come on man, this is a dinkum oil).

Thank you for reading. Your support is highly appreciated and it will never be taken for granted, ever!
